To he Editor of the Dispatch:
The correspondence published in your
paper OF this morning between Mrs. Z.
Poyihress, secretary OF the lakewood Me-
mortal Association, and Rowland Hill, Esq,
chairman of the Council Committee on
Cemeteries, must have been very gratifying
10 all who wish to preserve in freshness
and fragrance the grounds where lie buried
30 large number OF the Confederate dead;
for il is by this means alone that the beauty
OF these sections can be maintained. To
allow them TO remain in their present un.
slightly conditiou-a mound here, sunken
nlace there: some headboards standing as
they were originally placed, others having
rotted otf and again driven in, leaving
irregular rows-all these disorders, II
allowed 10 continue, will be a lasting re
preach 10 our people. Under the new ar
rangtment the grounds VIII present an
even. neat appearance covered Win green
sgard, and With here and there plat OF
growing blooming plants, will make
Il one Of the prettiest spots In the
country. But without some explanation
the idea Of obliterating all traces OF the
graves and the names OF those whose bodies
we're buried there is appalling to many.
Having taken some small part In getting
ihe consent OF The ladies OF the association
10 this plan, win explain how it Is pro-
nosed that ibe burial.plac are hereafter to
he designated. To illustrate. Avenue A..
for irstsnce, will be accurately surveyed
and cornerstone sci up at its intersection
with the road leading 10 sroni the gate.
Iaklng this stone IS q sl.rting point, each
gIavc win be designated on a map by feet
an d inches from this stone, thus accurately
describing the spot where burials have
been made. Each row OF graves will
thus be laid down on the map un'
III all have been measured. The
ladies, who have complete record
Of the names Of the soldiers b., avenues aad
